TL: Hanguk
Fourth floor of the Golden Tower.
“Puhuhut. Olga family, I have arrived, meow!”
Theo, who came out of the bag of the legendary merchant wandering the Nine Towers, announced his arrival.
At that moment,
“Vice Chairman Theo~nim, you’ve arrived?”
The elves, who had joined Sejun Company and were selling Sejun’s crops to the Olga family, approached Theo and greeted him.
The elves were no longer in the skinny, malnourished state they had been in before. They looked healthy, as if they were eating well.
This was thanks to the changes that had occurred in the Golden Tower over time.
First of all, Theo had hired the elves and compensated them for their work entirely with Magical Cherry Tomatoes as both meals and wages, providing the elves with a large supply of food.
On top of that, during the third gathering of the dragons’ meeting, the golden dragons drank the Earth-Attribute Pear Wine, which partially neutralized the lightning energy clashing with their internal energy. As a result, the amount of lightning energy released outside significantly decreased, and the frequency of lightning strikes around the Golden Tower had dropped substantially compared to before.
Thanks to this, the elves had more time to wander outside, allowing them to collect additional food from the outside world.
For reference, the trio Marin, Machun, and Magin were leading the Three-Ma Trading Company, affiliated with Sejun Company, and were active in the mid-floors of the Golden Tower.
The name Three-Ma Trading Company was given by Sejun because all three had the surname Ma.
The Three-Ma Trading Company quickly gained a foothold, thanks to support from Daemon Family’s head, Yuto, who helped his younger brothers start anew. From the very first month, they began generating profits and were paying 50% of their earnings as tribute to Theo.
“Olga family, let’s start the auction, meow!”
After receiving greetings from the elves, Theo looked at the assembled Olga family members and began the auction.
And,
“Puhuhut. Sold out, meow!”
Once again, Theo successfully sold out Sejun’s new crops, concluding the auction.
“Puhuhut. Everyone, keep up the hard work, meow!”
I can’t wait to see Chairman Park, meow!
As always, Theo was quick to leave work for the day.
“Shall we head home now too?”
“Let’s do that.”
Following their vice chairman’s example, the employees of Sejun Company also finished their work on time and left for home.
***
99th floor of the Black Tower.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I have returned, meow!”
Kueng!
[Dad, Cuengi is back!]
Theo and Cuengi, who had both returned around the same time, came looking for Sejun.
“Oh. You’re back?”
When Sejun welcomed them,
“Meow?!”
Kueng?!
Theo and Cuengi hurriedly covered their noses.
“Chairman Park, your breath smells like poop, meow!”
Kueng?!
[Don’t tell me Dad even poops from his mouth?!]
Because there was a poop smell coming from Sejun’s mouth.
“Poop? No way. That’s not it. Haha. Smell again. Hoo~”
Sejun teased Theo and Cuengi by blowing his breath toward them.
At that moment,
“Meow!”
Theo quickly put on a gas mask that Iona had made and clung to Sejun’s leg.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Cuengi doesn’t smell anything now!]
Cuengi also plugged his nose and clung to Sejun’s side.
Both of them were already accustomed (?) to such situations, so they always carried tools to block odors.
“Ahem. Guys, this isn’t a poop smell. It’s this smell.”
Sejun, who had lost interest in teasing them, showed them a yellow fruit with sharp thorns. It was durian.
He had planted the fruit long ago and forgotten about it, only to notice a foul smell coming from somewhere. When he investigated, he discovered the durian had ripened. Sejun and Blackie were in the middle of tasting it when Theo and Cuengi arrived.
At that moment,
Kihihit. Kking.
[Hehe. Butler! Give me more!]
“I’d like some as well.”
Kkiruk!
Shalarang!
···
..
.
Apparently, the durian suited their tastes, as Blackie family began urging Sejun for more.
“Alright, hold on.”
Sejun cut the durian into small pieces and distributed them to Blackie family.
“Cuengi, do you want to try it too?”
He asked Cuengi, who was staring curiously at the durian.
Kueng?
[That’s really not poop?]
“No. It’s delicious. Trust Dad and give it a try.”
When Sejun brought the durian to Cuengi’s mouth,
Kueng!
[Alright!]
Cuengi tightly closed his eyes and accepted the durian.
And then,
···?!
Cuengi’s eyes sparkled like a star exploding, gleaming with delight.
Kueng! Kueng!
[It’s delicious! Soft and sweet!]
Cuengi, who had just discovered the taste of durian, became excited.
Kihihit. Kking?!
[Hehe. Big bro, it’s delicious, right?! Peel one for me too!]
Kuhehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Got it!]
Cuengi began peeling and eating durian with Blackie, who was enthusiastically wagging his tail right in front of him.
‘Mother-in-law and Ace said they’d sleep until dinner.’
Then lunch will be… durian.
As Sejun thought that lunch was now sorted,
Chairman Park, I’m hungry, meow!
He felt Theo’s intense gaze piercing through him.
“All right.”
Chiiiik!
Sejun grilled fish to a golden perfection and gave it to Theo.
“Puhuhut. As expected, Chairman Park’s grilled fish is the best, meow!”
Theo praised it highly while eating with great delight.
How could I not cook for someone eating so deliciously.
He patted Theo’s head while continuing to eat his durian.
A little later,
“Okay. Let’s brush our teeth now.”
Kking! Kking!
[No! The Great Blackie doesn’t need to brush his teeth!]
Blackie ran away at full speed upon hearing Sejun’s words.
However,
“Summon Shadow Minions.”
Kking?!
Sejun summoned three Shadow Minions to block Blackie’s escape route.
Kking! Kking!
[Fake butler! Let go of the Great Blackie!]
Blackie was ultimately captured by the Shadow Minions and handed over to Sejun.
Kking…
[It tastes bad…]
In the end, Blackie grimaced as he was subjected to brushing.
“All right. Let’s get to work now.”
After finishing up the tooth-brushing, Sejun and his companions were about to start their afternoon farming.
At that moment,
[Sejun~nim…]
Flamie appeared, calling Sejun with a strained voice.
“Huh?! Flamie?! Ah! Vice Chairman Theo, absorb my energy!”
“Got it, meow!”
Sejun quickly had Theo absorb his energy. Flamie had been struggling due to Sejun’s overly strong energy.
That’s right. My Flamie is like a fragile sunfish.
Sejun, infinitely kind to sunfish-like beings, immediately began caring for Flamie.
“Flamie, are you okay?”
He placed Flamie in his palm and started giving her some gentle care.
[Farmer’s Warm Touch Lv. 8 is activated.]
[Your touch slightly heal the weakened Apple Tree Flamie.]
First, Sejun used Farmer’s Warm Touch to provide healing.
“Abundance!”
[<Power: Abundance> is applied to Apple Tree Flamie.]
[Apple Tree Flamie’s vitality has doubled.]
Next, he used the <Power: Abundance> to increase Flamie’s vitality. For a sunfish-like being, vitality was of utmost importance.
And then,
?!!!
Flamie, startled by Sejun’s sudden use of a power, froze.
She cautiously observed Sejun with a tense expression.
“Flamie, are you feeling better now?”
But Sejun expression remained unchanged..
[Yes! I feel much better now!]
Flamie responded brightly, smiling widely at Sejun’s question.
Hehe. This seal is really good.
Thanks to the Trial’s statue perfectly sealing her powers, Sejun remained fine even after using powers on Flamie.
So Flamie felt relieved that she was perfectly sealed.
[Heheh. It’s so warm.]
Sejun’s aura of sunlight, an additional effect of his Growing Seed job talent, made his palm a supremely cozy resting place.
I’m so happy…
Focusing on the warm touch of Sejun, who gently stroked her leaves, Flamie quietly settled down.
It was the unique way a tree, which couldn’t sleep, rested.
Is she asleep?
Sejun gazed quietly at Flamie, who had gone silent.
What should I do with our Flamie being so fragile…
He looked at her with worried eyes.
And then,
‘Great Hybrid Chairman Park, now is not the time to be worrying about Flamie, meow.’
‘Dad, Flamie noona is way stronger than you.’
Theo and Cuengi looked at Sejun with sympathetic expressions.
Kking!
[Butler! Play with me too!]
Only Blackie was an exception.
Having often seen Sejun act this way, any sense of pity Blackie might have felt had long disappeared.
Instead,
Kking…
[Butler, I’m hurt too…]
“Huh?! Where does it hurt?”
Kking…
[My stomach hurts…]
“Tsk. You ate too much earlier. You really are such a sunfish. Come here.”
Hehe. Stupid butler.
Blackie had realized it was more fun to tease Sejun.
“Blackie, follow me, meow!”
Kueng!
[Blackie, it seems we need to have a long-overdue chat!]
As long as he didn’t get caught by his older brothers, of course.
***
Creator God’s Temple.
[The planet Moak has fallen to the invasion of the Seventh Calamity, the Planet-Destroying Turtle.]
···
..
.
[The Black Tower’s Tower Farmer Park Sejun and his companions have defeated Kraken, the sea-devouring monster and 6th seat of the Apostle of Destruction, and saved Hamk.]
[The planet Gamo has fallen to the invasion of the Seventh Calamity, the Planet-Destroying Turtle.]
···
..
.
Amid messages of destruction, there was one message of salvation, like a much-needed rain.
“How strange.”
With Sejun and his companions’ power, it should have been absolutely impossible to defeat the Kraken…
The Creator God stared at the message, puzzled.
Even though there were eight beings in Sejun’s group that possessed the souls of the Apostles of Destruction, they were merely the former Apostles in soul, their strength was minimal.
Not to mention Sejun’s utterly weak power.
Theo, Cuengi, Paespaes, and Iona were strong, but not to the extent of inflicting significant damage on an Apostle of Destruction.
There was no clear explanation, yet Sejun and his companions seemed to win in situations where victory seemed impossible.
Not just once, but multiple times.
For some unknown reason, things that shouldn’t have been possible became possible when they were together…
Even the Creator God, who could see through all natural laws, didn’t know what mysterious force was working among them. A force that bound them tightly.
“Should I take a gamble on them?”
The Creator God began to contemplate deeply with a serious expression.
Thanks to Sejun taming as many as nine Apostles of Destruction, the speed of the Calamities’ invasions had significantly slowed down.
But the world was already like a ship sinking into the sea, slowly heading towards destruction.
At that moment,
Wuuung.
The black crystal that Emila and Amur were touching turned white, and the waypoint connected to the Land of Destruction began to activate.
And then,
“Creator God, we’re heading out.”
“We’ll be back.”
The two Apostles of Creation moved to the Land of Destruction through the waypoint.
One hour later.
“Ha
104.28.193.250
“Huff
The two returned, drenched in blood, gasping for breath.
***
Combat Shop Headquarters.
Why isn’t my method working?
Hunt, the God of Hunting, had once again had his pride shattered.
There’s definitely something I don’t know about.
He was carefully observing Theo to figure out how to approach him.
And then,
“What?! Battler-nim! Theo already has a butler who feeds him.”
He protested to Battler as he watched Theo happily eating grilled fish that he had received from Sejun.
“Butler?! So the one who feeds him is the butler?”
“Sigh. I clearly wrote it in 1000 Ways to Completely Win a Cat’s Heart, Chapter 1: ‘If there’s already a butler feeding the cat, it’s easier to just find another cat.’”
He spoke in a dejected tone.
“Did you? I must’ve skipped over the first chapter. So, is there no way?”
“Hmph. I am Hunt, the God of Hunting. There is no prey I cannot catch. I’ll descend myself and tame that cat, Theo.”
Boasting loudly to Battler, Hunt began searching the area around Theo.
Alright. That one will do.
He dropped his divine relic in front of a Black Minotaur who was tilling the soil.
It was an attempt to descend through the divine relic.
Sending a divine relic to a specific location was a method that consumed a great deal of divine power and was rarely used, but,
My pride is at stake!
Recovering his pride was far more important.
And then, fгeewebnovёl.com
Moo?
[What is this?]
Woo Cheon-sam (Minotaur 1003), who had been tilling the ground, noticed the antique-looking bow lying on the ground.
Moo!
[Sejun-nim, there’s something here!]
He called out to Sejun, who was planting seeds nearby.
After being caught as a thief by Theo in the past, Woo Cheon-sam (Minotaur 1003) had developed the habit of not picking up anything that had fallen to the ground without first confirming it with Sejun.
“Yes?”
Sejun approached after hearing Woo Cheon-sam’s (Minotaur 1003) call.
“Huh?! It’s a bow?”
Why would something like this be here?
Grab.
The moment Sejun grabbed the bow,
Damn it, it’s a chick instead of a pheasant!
Hunt, the God of Hunting, had no choice but to descend into Sejun’s body.
But,
“Huh?! Where am I?”
Whether the descent had gone wrong, Hunt found himself in the middle of a forest.
And then,
[What do you think you’re doing?!]
A colossal tree, so enormous that it couldn’t be captured in a single glance, stood at the center of the forest and glared at Hunt with hostility.
Don’t disturb my vacation!
Crunch.
Roots large enough to cover the sky began crashing down on Hunt.
***
“Huh?! Flamie, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”
Sejun, noticing Flamie frowning, looked at her with worried eyes.
[Heheh. No, I’m fine. I just feel a little stiff. I think it’s time to move around a bit!]
Stretching as if to shake off the stiffness, Flamie subtly removed the leaf she had placed on the bow.
